I had another hormone implant today. That's not really news. Dr. Grimes (that's me) may have had the number of those treatments wrong. I asked the nurse if this was the last one & she said March of 2013 is what the notes said, & showed it to me. Some how I thought it was two years after my last radiation treatments. Wheew! Oh well, one day at a time.

Thanks Jesse! I'll be OK, reading it on the computer screen whacked me. When the nurse said it, it surprised me, & she turned the screen & showed it to me. I can refuse treatments, it just wouldn't be smart. Is that Spanish for those things? I would have started with a Ka. Can't wait! I have four more Dr. appointments this month relative to cancer & I expect to be on course. It's Great to have friends!

More good news! I wasn't going to post anything, but after talking to Randy, & then confirmed from Jesse & Jason, I decided to post. My PSA is not detectable! That's huge! In this process, I meet with numerous Doctors & nurses. I met with the radiologist Friday 06/22/12 & also learned my last hormone implant will be August 29th 2012. Huge! That will be two years after my last radiation treatment. I meet with the GU Dr. July 6th, but I don't think it will be news worthy.

The bumper sticker is right Frankie...FIGHT TO WIN!! And your doing it!

I'm doing well with my cancer battle! A friend called last week, Paul, asking how I was doing. I've been told often I look good. Of course I already thought that. They probable mean healthy. I've lost a huge amount of muscle mass. I can't curl 60 lbs. The medication I've been taking for over 2 1/2 years, gets the credit. My spirit could not be better! I'm so grateful for the support, it's huge!!! Thanks!!! I don't know if I can open the can of cancer whoop ass yet, but I'm doing good. I've got to work on getting my energy back.

Well, I haven't heard this word apply to me, remission! I met with the radiologist yesterday, Jan. 11, & she uttered that word. The last two psa reading were 0.01 down from 13.82. It is awesome news!!! It can pop up again, but it's coming up to 3 years & everything is going in the right direction. Another step in this process is to have the hormone medication leave my system. I did not get a definite answer to that question, but in general a few months. Thanks for the support, it's huge!!!
